All good & well replacing it. But make sure you find out why it's failed!

Is it beyond being cleaned?

The best place to get parts for any motor vehicle will be the original manufactureres (the dealers).

But as you can already guess - this will be expensive.

Pattern parts are cheaper - but normally inferior.


The bigger question is: Why has the DPF failed? What age/mileage is the vehicle? Does it have other faults?

 

[Ruffian]

Not one to start an arguement with should/shouldn't so take this with a pinch of salt,

If for "off road use"
How about removing it and mapping it out?

16 plate L200, 70k miles, no other faults.
DPF was on fire apparently, I never saw it and I haven’t looked under the truck yet. There are rumours going round the town about bad fuel causing problems for a few diesel owners.
Guessed main dealers would be the best but not cheapest option

It’s an option

Has it gone on fire, or just something stuck to it and gone on fire?
During regen, they can reach over 600degC, and put out quite a bit of smoke.

I wouldn't necessarily be changing it, unless it's actually failed, such as the core has broken up and not regenning, which would result in a few fault codes stored, or there is now soot coming out the tail pipe.

This reminds me,a few years ago,I investigated a rattle in the silencer of my ‘98 lt35,cut the silencer up and found what resembled a cuttle fish extracted it,then welded a plate over.stayed like that for the remaining 8 years of my ownership lol.

As previously said: you get what you pay for........... Pattern stuff in this department is cheap because it's built to a price. Generally lasts a very short time and is noisy/not comparable to the original item.
I won't fit pattern DPF's to my customers cars.

It's Japanese so a new one from dealer is going to be crazy money.
Would suggest testing the back pressure at idle and max rpm to start with and go from there.

I can't advocate deleting the DPF as its illegal and very harmful for the population/planet. Easy/cheaper option than replacing the DPF but morally wrong.

if it was on fire how did the truck survive, they are pretty close to the floor with a tin thin heat shield, obviously internal fire ,but I thought thats how they work more or less..

Wasn’t there so didn’t see what went on. Haven’t looked either, get a look tomorrow in the daylight

Was typing whilst cooking dinner,

meant to say I only use bp or shell fuel

I run torque pro on my head unit, L200 is parked up a little these days but when I've been on the motorway the cat temps goes up to 650 and the dpf regeneration light comes on

Bet its toasty when that happens

 

[Migmac]

Just stuck my head under the pickup, there’s a hole burnt through the side at the sensor. I’ll see if I have th3 skills to get a decent photo

 

[Migmac]

Hole burnt and poked at I would guess. Water was used to extinguish the flames. The truck itself is untouched by the flames. Looks like it had pin holes before yesterday’s events.
